CMA awards: makes a fat joke about pregnant woman. Unacceptable.

The two moderators for the award show started to comment on the obvious, that the woman co-moderator was indeed pregnant. How it was addressed, I take issue with. The male co-moderator says, "oh, you really have let yourself go".
PUK!

How about honoring a woman that is pregnant. Making a fat joke is unacceptable! Time for a cultural change.

This is a country “music” awards show we’re talking about here.

It wasn't a fat joke, it was a (very) lame pregnant joke.

Many women find it hurtful and demeaning to call a woman fat during a pregnancy.

Time for a cultural change. Let's honor women.
